title: Comparative analysis of two systems for unobtrusive heart signal acquisition and characterization.
abstract: In this paper we describe and compared method of heart rate estimation from cardiac signal acquired with EMFIT, FMCW Doppler radar and Finapres based technology, in the same context, and briefly investigated their similarities and differences. Study of processing of acquired cardiac signal for accurate peak detection using Wavelet Transform is also described. The results suggest good reliability of the two implemented unobtrusive systems for heart rate estimation.
